Emmentaler? That probably explains why it tasted sharp/bitter to your tongue. Every Obazda I've eaten in Germany had a "base" cheese that was very mild (Brie/Camenbert most frequently). <br /><br />When I attended language school in southern Bavaria, our teacher told us that there are a variety of Obazda recipes (some well-kept family secrets). Fortunately for us, she gave us a chance to use her family's recipe for Obazda. (One secret ingredient was to add a bit of light beer to the mixture to soften the onions.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899056469882773774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-84374060163672969202010-03-30T16:35:37.100+01:002010-03-30T16:35:37.100+01:00That sounds awesome!

It's the combination of cheesy goo and crunchy raw onion that does it for me, though I'd rather have it with black bread than pretzels. The plattekeis -- soft cheese on dark bread with spring onions and radishes -- traditionally served with lambic is a similar, though preferable, experience.Des de Moorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533475300522834830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-8186713543138105042010-03-21T20:12:25.783+00:002010-03-21T20:12:25.783+00:00Ohh, Schmaltz!

I'm not exactly clear on the different varieties (my German's not great) but I'm pretty sure I've had pork fat, chicken fat and goose fat.<br /><br />The first time I had it was in a beer hall in Wroclaw in Poland (formerly Breslau, in Germany, of course) at a beer hall in the town square. Every pint came with a slice of bread and dripping. Marvellous. Not healthy. They call it 'smalec' (pr. smaletz).Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-79517173561381348942010-03-21T09:21:47.327+00:002010-03-21T09:21:47.327+00:00Bailey - Schmaltz ?

It's great beer food, but I'd hesitate if that lump if shit you pictured was put on a plate in front of me :)<br /><br />I'm with Bailey though, Schmelzkaese mit Musik is great, though I only learned recently that the "with music" part is to do with the onion-induced flatulence after it.
